    ROSAS
    Darating ang panahon
    ‘di na ‘ko kayang
    buhatin ng dalawa

    Kapag ang talulot ng rosas
    ay mangitim at malanta
    Kapag napagod
    at yumuko na ang sanga
    H’wag mo sanang itapon
    mumunti kong alaala

    Tuyong bulaklak
    na minsa’y nagdulot ng saya
    H’wag sanang limutin
    Maski na kailan pa
    H’wag ilagay sa kahon
    na may disenyong magara
    H’wag din sa paso
    o isabog sa lupa
    Nais kong humimlay
    Sa mga aklat at pahina
    Nang sa’yong pagbabasa
    Muli tayong magkasama

    I meant to say "translation" but I'm not very keyboard-agile. Sorry.

    Is there a reanslation available? I see that most of your work is brief. This one, being longer, piques my curiosity as to its content. Oh well, I'll just send a friend request from someone who appreciates what you're doing. Thank you.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
